Inspired by an old Islamic astrolabe

“COSMOS” (2018) by Jean-Michel Othoniel, on view at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, is a large and intricate globe installation that symbolizes the path of travelers around the world, taking inspiration from the oldest Islamic astrolabe, which can be found in the Museum of Islamic Arts collection.

A perfect installation for an airport. The artist has had a impressive career and has installations all over the world besides France and Qatar. Once again a pbase photo sent me on a search.
